Reputation

The free spirit/non-reputation is still a reputation. The person still has to keep up their counter-reputation, otherwise people will find out what they really do when nobody is looking.

Someone claiming to be a free spirit isn't really someone that doesn't care what anybody thinks of him/her, it is somebody desperate to convince people that he/she doesn't care what anybody thinks, and the same applies to any image someone goes for (including the telling everyone else to be themself image even if they already are themselves). As long as the person has to convince other people they don't care what anyone thinks of them, they have a reputation of some sort to protect, no matter what they tell you to the contrary.

Reputation

You want to know the difference between "reputation" and "status?"

Hym "Reputation is people's willingness to lie for you. Status is commensurate with your deeds. See, you can have a high level of status but that might not motivate people to lie for you and may even incentivize lying ABOUT you. Without the reputation (how you are regarded by a certain team) of being on a certain team, they don't know whether or not you're willing to lie FOR THEM. So, the religion. The politics. It's all just to decide who's going to lie for who and when. And that's what we are seeing here. They can figure out who is going to lie for them or not so they are trying to drag this out as long as possible. I'm just going to kill a kid ifbthey don't take about the surveillance I'm under and credit and pay me for AI. That IS going to happen. And if I die before then, someone else can always do it in my name after you screw THEM. Which you will. Because your refuse to stop trying to screw people. So, I don't need to be alive to harm you for doing this. The only way other people can guarantee that they themselves aren't on the other end of it is to prevent it from happening to me."

Reputation

Something you get by your own character or personality and choices.

I want to better my reputation not make a false personality and be little people by spreading rumors that just makes me a negativity person.

reputation era

when someone says they are “entering their reputation era” it basically means that they are about to f@!? some sh!t up. they will get revenge, and glow from the inside out. it’s a bad b!tch moment for sure. it originated from Taylor swift when she dropped the single “look what you made me do” calling out kanye and everyone who talked down on her.

“omg i heard about taylor, everyone’s been making false rumours about her, she’s totally going to enter her reputation era after all this drama.”

reputation era (rep era)

literal: derived from Taylor Swift’s most notable album (or commonly referred to as an era by her fans) in which she sheds her good-girl image and takes on an alter ego of an unexpected, darker, more vengeful version of herself. the album is rooted in irony and mockery of the people who dragged her name through mud.

figuratively/stan usage: although it is commonly referred to as when a person has a comeback with vengeance and to mock those that have hurt them, it is more deeply understood through her fan base as one of her most romantic pieces of art, because although the album’s setting is a dark place in life, the stories of this album detail of love that cannot be broken by status or superficial things. it is a romance that lifts her from the dead as she “once was poison ivy”, and she grows into a “daisy”.

someone who is said to be in their “rep era” is completely aware of bullshit and clowns and is not only coming back for vengeance, but gives absolutely zero fucks about it, because they probably have the love of their life waiting for them if they “strike out and crawl home”.

person one: rebecca is acting weird, do you think she is mad we called her a hoe?

person two: i hope she isn’t in her reputation era (rep era), she has my nudes
